What Is GiveUpOne.com?

What would this Christmas season look like if massive numbers of people gave up just ONE Christmas present and decided instead to give a gift to someone more in need?

This is the idea of GiveUpOne. The concept came from a sermon at Northview Christian Life in Carmel, IN. Pastors Stan Killebrew and Dave Choutka delivered a great message about the consumerism and greed that surround the Christmas season. For more on that, go here: http://nvclcommunity.blogspot.com/

My wife and I always get money at Christmas time as part of our gifts. Instead of spending that money on things that we want (after all, we don't need anything), we're going to give away the money to help others that need it more than we do.

Will you "GiveUpOne"? Could you give up just ONE gift this Christmas to help someone else in need? What if we did without one gift and gave away the money from that gift to help others that need it more than we do? Pretty soon we could easily eliminate a whole lot of suffering. Imagine the possibilities.
